Fearless

Chapter 9: Coffee Shop

I, Makayla Rivers, have a new status: officially creeped out.

I reread the note over and over, each time a shiver would run down my spine.

So now I have a stalker watching my every move and is out to get me. I bet it's the dangerous people Lily was talking about. The letter did say we.

What if it's not them though? What if this is some kind of joke? Maybe Lily put the note there. She was in my room, alone, for a while when I was with the boys.

Yeah, it probably is just a joke. There is nothing to worry about. It's just a harmless note, right? It doesn't mean anything. For all I know, it's probably fake. I mean, who else would know I was at the park the other day?

I felt my muscles relax. There is no need to get worked up about this.

I fold the small paper and tuck it away in my drawer.

Then I walk out to the living room where Lily, Harry, Liam, Niall, and Louis were lying around. The lights were turned off and each one of them had their own blanket.

"Where's Zayn?" I ask.

"Right here," I hear Zayn's voice from the floor. He was lying next to the couch Lily and Niall were on.

"Oops, sorry. I didn't see you there. It's too dark," I chuckle.

I left to go grab a blanket of my own and popped three bags of popcorn.

When I came back, the movie was already put in, but they were waiting for it to finish loading.

"What movie are we watching?" I ask.

"The Pacifier," Louis replies.

"I love that movie!" I cheer, "Now I have three bowls full of popcorn. You guys can all share two and I can share one with me, myself, and I."

They immediately started whining. "That isn't fair!" Niall protests.

"Too bad," I playfully stick my tongue out at them.

I pass around the popcorn then realized there was no space for me on the floor or the couches.

"Would any of you like to scoot your booty over and make room for me?" I ask innocently,  batting my eyelashes.

"Sure, love. There is room on this couch," Harry changes his position and left a spot open for me.

"Thanks Harry," I smile and sit down.

Harry's POV

The movie ended about two minutes ago. A yawn passed my lips as I look at the clock.

12:40 AM

Everyone was asleep except for me. I feel a sudden weight on my shoulder and turn to my left and see Mak's head leaning on me. I start to take in all her features, like her eyelids hiding her beautiful brown eyes, and her pink lips that look so soft. I don't know how long I was staring at her face but I look away when I see her stirring in her sleep.

"Take a picture. It lasts longer. You're creeping me out," she mumbles.

I blush slightly and look down. "Sorry."

"It's fine," she yawns and sits up. "Sorry for sleeping on you."

"Don't worry about it, just go back to sleep," I make sure she has enough room before falling asleep myself.

I wake up the next morning and the living room is empty. Louis walks in and sees that I'm awake.
